Barcelona star Javier Mascherano has indicated that he would "understand" if Claudio Bravo leaves the club to join Manchester City.
Goal understands that Pep Guardiola's side are closing in on a move for the Chile international, with regular goalkeeper Joe Hart dropped to the bench for the Catalan manager's first Premier League game against Sunderland.
And when asked about the move in a media conference, Mascherano said that he was unsure whether the speculation was true, but wished his team-mate well should a move come off.
"We don’t know anything, honestly. We don’t know if it’s true or a lie," the Argentine said.
"I hope he stays, but obviously I will understand it [if he goes]."
